Does that mean that the saunas and pools are naked, a towel in the restaurant and maybe they only have a day or two of bathing with clothes on?

Actually for the restaurant you usually need a bathrobe.

In some places where a bar is right in the middle of the textil free zone you can just wear a towel. But not in the actual restaurant

also beware of searching and going to a "FKK Spa" as in Germany thats basically a brothel (unless thats the experience you are looking for)

Basically any spa in the region that has a sauna world, or talks about Aufguss on their site will have a textile free zone. Folks from the region would be literally disgusted by an Aufguss (or Sauna infusion) that involved clothing.

The best part is when seeing someone you know.

I was in a cold water pool when I saw a beautiful female friend of me: 28 years old, blonde hair, tan lines, fully shaved, B cups.

She went by with her boyfriend and shared a short "hi", when she saw that it was me.

Later I met her in another pool and in a Aufguss session. After the session she went to the cold water pool, where I met her again and we had a little bit smalltalk. You can imagine two naked people talking and standing, I saw her full frontal again.

This was an unexpected surprise, good to know now how she is looking naked 😄

Actually, the brothels mostly call themselves "FKK Cub". FKK Paradies or FKK Spa also happen.

C is just like other German wellness centres - it has a swimming-pools textile section, and a nude sauna section, in this case upstairs. You climb up a spiral staircase and you are at the entrance of the sauna section, with signs making it clear that it’s a nude area. People remove their bikinis, trunks etc then and there, and walk about mostly in towels. However, for a younger crowd, it’s best to go there on weekends which is when people come from neighboring towns, even from France just across the Rhine nearby.

The F is something differenrt and unique that has changed a lot, not always for the better. It’s a 19th century thermal bathhouse (using natural hot springs) that, in principle, enforces total nudity inside. You do get “towels” - more like linen sheets - for lying down in the dry-sauna steps, but these are taken away by the staff when you enter the steambath and pools area. You walk about totally naked, no other option.


Historically they had nearly symmetrical sections for men and women, which were more or less integrated anyway dependending on the day of the week - in the “segregated” days men and women would stick to their sections - except for the central circular pool which was always mixed. In other days, it was mostly mixed except that men were barred from going into one specific area of the women’s section. And changing rooms and lockers were segregated.

Then came its “golden age” in the 2010s when everything, including changing rooms, were made mixed on the mixed days. It was awesome.

However, it seems that during Covid they took a hit from which they have yet to recover (I haven’t been there since): chronic lack of staff, having to close one of the two halves due to maintenance, not so great maintenance overall, and now they replaced the old segregated days with - yes - textile days.

So I don’t know how it’s now. Hopefully if you go on a mixed/nude day on a weekend it’s still worth it, but I don’t know.

I introduced a lady to nude saunas at the F in its golden age, I will tell that story later.

I think, you best research the FAQ section of any given spa, and it usually details their clothing rules.

Example:
https://www.badeparadies-schwarzwald...nformation.php

"textile-free" or in german: textilfrei

Even a small region in northern Italy, where Germans and Italians live together: Alto Adige. There are at least four or five with nude pools, not to mention the hotel saunas. It's truly a blessing to live here! When I think of Americans or English people, who feel so much more evolved and then are afraid of exposing their bodies 🤣🤣🤣

Could you give some more information on this? What are the best few you would recommend and what are they like?

Options:
- both these lakes, as they are next to the road.
- Bad Ke*del
- Badep*radies Schw*rzwald
- Cassiop*ia

I will visit Badep*radies Euskirchen on the way back, but am tempted to visit Schw*rzwald on the way there as the weatherforecast isn't that great.

Hey,

Hope you had a good time! I am just curious: What did you chose?

Went to kleiner opfinger zee, but as the weather wasn't that good, it was empty.
Afterwards went to Ke*del, also pretty empty. I'd say maybe 50 visitors, of which 10 "younger". I like the fact that all the sauna's have a lot of Windows. Usually they are very dark, but in ke*del they are very bright.

Will visit thermen E*skirchen on the way back today.
